I did a project in Elementary school on the Diablo VT. Went to a dealership to do a little research...They let me sit in a Red & Yellow one. One of my favorite childhood memories.
It just makes you feel good to watch Jay Leno, especially in this one where he features Franco Barbuscia and his family, who are some of the greatest mechanics in the world, especially with Lamborghinis. Jay is passionate and deeply knowledgeable about cars and his enthusiasm comes through all of his videos, which just make them a joy to watch.
I can always tell when Leno likes something. He will repeated it at least 3 times within an episode. And I can tell he really appreciates Franco. Well done, what a great tribute to a fine car and his mechanic.
I find it hard to believe some people actually disliked this video! The Countach and Diablo were poster Lambo's in my generation and this car is just SO gorgeous! That Alpine CD player was from the 2000's, not as "classic" as the car, but still cool they kept it Alpine. Great video, Jay, just let me know if you need another driver to help you test out these cars... ha ha
Damn! i'm only 18 so i don't remember much about the the late 90's but i do remember a Lambo dealership close to my dads work. Me and my brother would look into the window a admire a purple diablo they had on showcase.
rec0n117 Same here. The 90's was just awesome for cars. Nobody cared about 0-60's or Nurburgring times. It was all about being able to say, "My car will go over 200mph! Will yours?" ; )
Those days on the floor with my Matchbox cars and Hot wheels looking up at my Diablo poster. OK so I was a teenager in the 90's but I stilled played with my toy cars and will all ways dream of the diablo.
@Elliot Rodger Sorry, Elliott, but the "ultra rich" drive Paganis...as daily drivers. Jay is not even "rich" by the standards of 21st Century America. He was just smart enough to buy most of these cars when they weren't so expensive only the REAL rich could afford them. And that's the Jay Leno thing: it wasn't just money - it was as much smarts.
the diablo was my favorite car growin up. When I was hella young I used to roll with my mom to the grocery store just so i could get the new dupont registry and look at these
I was a kid in the 80s, and I can attest-- THAT was the decade that ALL car-makers were watering down their designs... Biggest crime in the book: *a 4 cylinder MUSTANG!* wtf!! 😨
You haven't really addressed the point that I made Shaun. I never said that the current crop of Lamborghini's aren't great cars. When Richard Hammond described the new Huracan in relation to the past Lamborghinis he's reviewed, he said, "As a car, this Huracan is probably better than all of those other Lamborghinis. But, those cars are better Lamborghinis." And that is precisely my point. Great car or not, the latest crop of Lambos have strayed a long way from the original philosophy that Ferruccio had when he gave up tractor production in favor of cars. And, that is why I regard Lamborghini as having effectively died with the Diablo. We are, philosophically speaking, dealing with a completely different company today.
Philosophically speaking, all auto manufacturers are completely different companies than they were 60 years ago. In fact, most manufacturers are completely different companies than they were 60 years ago. It's called progress, I'm most instances.
"It's called progress, I'm most instances." In most instances, yes. And, for the most part, progress and evolution improves the breed. I'm still not a fan of the 991 911's steering as opposed to the 997, nor am I a fan of the direct injection, but I cannot deny that it is an incredible car to drive. Having driven both modern and classic Lamborghinis though, it's a different story. The reason the 911 and corvette are the Rolexes of the sports car worlds is that they possess consistency between generations. Do they make changes? Of course. The G-forces are higher. The styling has changed. The numbers are bigger (in everything from horsepower to MPG), but the cars still feel fundamentally similar between generations. New Lamborghinis, with the exception of the 550-2 Gallardo (and possibly the 580-2 Huracan. IDK because I haven't driven it yet), all feel completely alien compared to the Miura, Countach, and Diablo. The three cars I just named, the "real" Lamborghinis, if you will, also feel completely different. They are only united by their V12 and the incredible sense of alienation. Driving them is unlike anything else. Even the Aventador is as easy to drive as a VW golf once you get used to the turning radius and size. You have to be absolutely thrashing a modern Lambo to make it feel special (particularly with DCT cars like the Huracan), and that is why these cars are not deserving of the Lamborghini badge. EVERY moment in a Miura feels special. Same goes for the other two. That reference to emotion may seem silly, but supercars, PARTICULARLY Lamborghinis, are emotional purposes. Want a car for its performance numbers? Go buy a Camaro ZL1, Hellcat, or a GTR.
I've always preferred the simpler, smooth, rounded look of the Diablo over the current Aventador. The Diablo is timeless. That's why a Diablo from the early 1990s still looks modern. The Aventador, with it's creases and angles might look nice today but may look dated in a few years.
The Diablo looks gorgeous in white, and my god it sounds fantastic. I do like the Lambos of today, but they just don't strike my fancy like these old timers.
Could not agree more. If I had the money and I would live in Los Angeles, I would buy a Diablo. Forget about the Huracan, I'd rather buy the R8 as a daily driver ;)
How do 327 of you not like this? Lol, Jay rocks and his car collection is stellar. A beautiful example of a first year Diablo and I'm still shocked it's came with no power steering, lol. Franco's shop sounds amazing.
as much as i like the new Huracan, Aventador and Sesto Elemento, the old school one still has my heart. The Countach and the Diablo are timeless beauties/beasts.
To hell with all these so-called can-be-driven-by-grandma lamborghinis they're coming out with. The Diablo was the last of a dying breed of pull your hair out wall poster lamborghinis. This is an awesome machine and thank you Jay for sharing it with the new kids on the block and letting them know what the term 'Supercar' ACTUALLY means.
I have a poster of one of these Diablo Lamborghini cars it's yellow. The poster is over 30 years old and yes it has always been my dream car. I love it's raw simplicity.
I love listening to Jay he reminds me of that cool uncle who was corny like your dad but still cool and just one of the guys even when you were younger.
Jay has one too. He shows one on his personal vehicle rides. He doesn't mention it here but he says even 25 years ago the machine blew through gas. I would recommend finding the video of him doing a review own his own lambo.
The Diablo SV is my all time favorite Lambo....at the Canadian GP I once saw three SV's...one pearl white with a candy purple SV logo; one orange with a metallic blue SV....and a black one with silver SV.
This is the car that made me fall in love with cars, my first job was at a local engine tuning firm whose owner had a 32 anniversary diablo, I fell in love with cars at that job but more specifically with that car, what a piece of art, it is a pending checkmark in my list
Well, when temps were right for the current tune im sur they were tollerable BUT, before computers controlling air fuel mixture and timing, these supercars and mucle cars had to be tuned for changing seasons.
@@anotherrandomcommenter4473 How can you mention the Gallardo when talking about "True Lamborghini's". Gallardo's have V10s, they are in no way a true Lambo....They aren't terrible cars mind you, but sorry if i'm buying a Lambo I want the raw V12 sound of the Countach or Diablo.
The Aventador is nice, but it's all about getting looked at while stopped at a light. Full of electronics too. The Diablo is a raw, driving machine. No ABS, No power steering, No traction control. It's a direct connection between driver and car. How a true performance car should be.
Omg this is probably the best colour for diablo ever. :o white raven. It's amazing to see people so passionate about the cars that they work with daily. You'd think they got tired of it after so many years of exposure but they still fresh in the love. Respect!
The interior always gives away a cars age. Looks very modern from the outside, although I think the cheap plastic black license plate frame with white lettering on the back is bad bad bad. Another great video.
Tell me Jay isn't one lucky guy! All those amazing beautiful machines. But he earned all he has I suppose. I like this show. Jay seems like an actual car guy. Not just a rich guy that knows nothing about the amazing cars they get to drive. Hey Jay, if you ever want a chauffeur, let me know!
I've only owned 3 V12 vats, it's exclusive club V 12 owners, I just have my favorite the S guard S 600 AMG V12 twin turbo 28 psi turbos, , bullet proof rear windows and bomb proof, but I love this car jay, nothing like the sound of a Italian car at 8000 rpm, , 🍾🥂👌
My head hits the pillow and I get a notification about a new video Jay posted. I'm like hmm should I yeah what the heck. Ahhh it's a Diablo haha what a great video I loved the sound that was fantastic
My friend Jay took me for a ride in one of these. It rattled like a go cart but it took off like you were on a speeder bike from Star Wars! The trees blurred. It was insane.
I have a 91 diablo and just snapped the pinion shaft. I remembered this video and I appreciate that you mentioned Franco's European. Not many shops out there that have the tools to work on these older Italian's!
I'll never understand why the Diablo was and still is so disliked, a few upgrades were needed but what supercar of that era generally didn't? I think it looks great, especially in white :)
All I could think about was Dumb and Dumber. "Those are better than cash sir, those are IOU's. This ones a car, 150 thou, might want to hold on to that one".
" What if he shot me in the head...thats a chance we were willing to take" haha my favourite movie...and my dream vacation is still to go to aspen...preferably in a lambo with a stupid outfit on haha
Ya know.....after almost 2 decades in the auto repair auto industry, this video just excited me about cars again! I really wish I could get into this side of the automotive world!
I have watched most of your videos and I have to say... this is the sweetest sounding car you have featured on this channel. I think I'm in love. Haha!
HEY JAY GIVE US WHAT WE ALL WANT! You've had your actual custom P1 delivered, share with us some of that ole' McLaren-Leno-love. I trust you'll do the right thing.
The Diablo was the last of the really memorable Lamborghinis and the only one that actually has performance merit before Audi took over. First 200 MPH car they ever built and had looks that I don't think they ever surpassed. Modern Lamborghinis try too hard to look far out and exotic that they don't look good and seem awkward.
+Google plus sucks Maybe it's because I grew up in the 90's but I remember all the supercars back then like the Lamborghini Diablo, Dodge Viper, McLaren F1, Ferrari F40/50, Saleen S7 and they all seem so much more than todays supercars even though they lacked the technology and refinement they had the performance and rawness that makes them so incredible. It's all about their image now. Selling cars for profit.
+Jason Stanley Legendary cars, worth more than any of the modern hypercars. But also there's a ton of regulations and standards new cars have to meet, so the designers can only do so much.
What I love about this type Diablo, that came after the first one, is that the mirror mounting plates are painted body color. It's a detail that makes all the difference for me.
This car is so painfully beautiful
Why so painful?
@@xxdfoster cause we can't afford one

Too bad the Cala did not go into production
What about the countach?
I love the Diablo. No matter what the angle of the camera, there's no bad picture of that car..
This is rare today
You can tell that Franco does good work just judging by the amount of pride he shows when Jay's talking about his ride. Seems like an awesome gent.
Jay is one of the best car guys on the planet. He appreciates every nut and bolt.

These are some of the best looking Lamborghinis ever made. A lot smoother compared to the 70's and 80's ones

Yeah looks modern with those pop up headlights 😂
yeet some car designer somewhere needs to bring those back. Lights go up, lights go down...
In terms of visual design, the 90’s was a great time for cars.
Wow, that car is a legend. My brain has been permanently set to say "WOW" every time I see that car from the back.

I love listening to Jay he reminds me of that cool uncle who was corny like your dad but still cool and just one of the guys even when you were younger.
Still looks relevant almost 25 years later.
I think it looks better. It doesn't need to have that angry stealthy look to be a masterpiece. It looks fast, and that's all there is to it.
..should be called the "Relaventador".
We need a newer looking one like how the new Stratos is.
just like miura and countach
Still relevant 30 years later
I can't believe it's 25 years old either! Time flies! Yes, it still looks like a newer car to me :)
It’s 32 years now old now!
I love the styling. The 91-93 Mitsubishi 3000gt's share alot of the basic styling with the diablo.
my gosh, what a beautiful example of this car. I have always loved these. What a dream it would be to take a ride in one of these let alone drive one!

It's aged so well, I used to think it looked ugly alongside a murcielago, but now I think both cars have become perfectly classic lamborghinis

That licence plate frame is to show off his business. Better than some aftermarket lettering on the car, keeping it somewhat original I think.
It has Nissan 300ZX headlights for gods sake... modern???
No that frame is ok. It's pure period correct 90's style!
Gerfall It was in a later year that Lamborghini introduced the Z32/R390 headlamp assemblies into the Diablo. Z32s don't have pop-up lights.
been lucky enough to get a ride in one of these,the engine roar is something totally unique along with the looks people give you

the diablo is so classic. love it.
One of the best reviews. Love the family tradition of quality and excellence
I have a 91 diablo and just snapped the pinion shaft. I remembered this video and I appreciate that you mentioned Franco's European. Not many shops out there that have the tools to work on these older Italian's!
Diablo cocaine white!
It's gotta be a trick finding the line you're gonna snort off the wing!

I love this car definitely better looking then the Countach
Jonathan Díaz meh
There is nothing like the Countach. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
I'll never understand why the Diablo was and still is so disliked, a few upgrades were needed but what supercar of that era generally didn't? I think it looks great, especially in white :)
One of the most beautiful, and strong designs. It's classic, and timeless because it looks current today next to any other car.
First time I saw the car I fall in love with it, its one of the best design that ever made ❤❤❤❤💯
The Diablo was my favorite supercar growing up. I wonder how much they go for :)
~150k now
All I could think about was Dumb and Dumber. "Those are better than cash sir, those are IOU's. This ones a car, 150 thou, might want to hold on to that one".
"We got no food, we got no jobs, our pets HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!"
I think the same thing too every time I see a Diablo!
This car is one of the many many reasons Dumb & Dumber is my favorite movie of all times lol
" What if he shot me in the head...thats a chance we were willing to take" haha my favourite movie...and my dream vacation is still to go to aspen...preferably in a lambo with a stupid outfit on haha
"We'll take it!" VROAAAAR
Hey guys! Ahhh big gulps huh??
Welp, see ya later!
"that's a power plug now, not a cigarette lighter" hahah
Ya know.....after almost 2 decades in the auto repair auto industry, this video just excited me about cars again! I really wish I could get into this side of the automotive world!
I have watched most of your videos and I have to say... this is the sweetest sounding car you have featured on this channel. I think I'm in love. Haha!
No traction control no ABS no power steering, no paddle shifters No AWD, Definition of fun
HEY JAY GIVE US WHAT WE ALL WANT! You've had your actual custom P1 delivered, share with us some of that ole' McLaren-Leno-love.
I trust you'll do the right thing.
Sounds amazing!!!
That engine noise. Amazing.
Always loved the slightly rounded corners on wheel wells but it's just in the overall design. This is a beautiful car.
Love that sound! Classic V12 howl puts a smile on my face :-)
The Diablo was the last of the really memorable Lamborghinis and the only one that actually has performance merit before Audi took over. First 200 MPH car they ever built and had looks that I don't think they ever surpassed. Modern Lamborghinis try too hard to look far out and exotic that they don't look good and seem awkward.
+Jason Stanley I agree, the new lamborghinis look like they're trying too hard to be exotic and end up looking awkward.
+Google plus sucks Maybe it's because I grew up in the 90's but I remember all the supercars back then like the Lamborghini Diablo, Dodge Viper, McLaren F1, Ferrari F40/50, Saleen S7 and they all seem so much more than todays supercars even though they lacked the technology and refinement they had the performance and rawness that makes them so incredible. It's all about their image now. Selling cars for profit.
+Google plus sucks to me they blend more these days. Instead of looking different
+Jason Stanley if anything todays lamborghini's looksometimes less interesting instead when compared by other super cars
+Jason Stanley Legendary cars, worth more than any of the modern hypercars. But also there's a ton of regulations and standards new cars have to meet, so the designers can only do so much.
dat evil sound! like a swarm of killerbees
What I love about this type Diablo, that came after the first one, is that the mirror mounting plates are painted body color. It's a detail that makes all the difference for me.
So fresh n so clean clean. Gorgeous ride Franco. Love it.
